The Grateful Dead - Workingman’s Dead
Overview - Workingman’s Dead, The Grateful Dead’s forth effort, strays extremely far away from the more psychedelic sound that the band developed on Aoxomoxoa and Anthem Of The Sun for a much more folk rock and even country sound. Although there’s a huge change in sound, the band honestly …

Eminem - Cleaning Out My Closet - Single
Cleaning Out My Closest is one of those Eminem tracks that you really need to listen to if you want to appreciate it. You can’t simply jump to it, it’s not a great tempo and it’s not a great sound that really gets you going or anything like that.

Fender AT-3 Guitar Tuner
.I needed something to tune my guitar with since I lost my old tuner. I found this AT-3 for $10 at Guitar Center. It was cheap and looked functional enough for me, so I decided to buy it and give it a shot. Figured I didn’t have much to …
Airplanes by B.O.B Song
At first, I didn’t like this song because it sounded kind of stupid. But after I heard it a few times, I really started liking it, mostly because I could relate to it. It is featuring Hayley Williams, someone I have never heard of before but she is a …
Animal Collective - Mouth Wooed Her (Song)

The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Axis: Bold As Love

Bob Dylan - Watered-Down Love (Song)
Watered-Down Love is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Shot Of Love. The track starts out with a very upbeat sound, as do many of Dylan’s songs from his religious period, and Dylan sings in a melody which sounds unnaturally poppy in my opinion. To …

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistol
Anyone compiling a collection of the ultimate collection of rock albums has to include this 1977 disc. I can still remember hearing this for the first time and being amazed that bands played like that. The foul language was shocking, especially the rant at the end of …

New Kids On The Block
You can’t blame me for being excited, really you can’t. You can’t blame me for seeing a video of New Kids On the Block on the Today Show and being immediatly transformed back in time 15 years.

Song: Pick ‘Em Up, Lay ‘Em Down by singer Toby Keith

Face of Love - Wajah Kekasih by Siti Nurhaliza

But she was …
Animal Collective - Bleed (Song)
Bleed is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their EP release Fall Be Kind. Opening with a spoken word section, Bleed soon transitions into an incredibly empty atmosphere which is both positive and negative. On the downside, I’m not a huge fan of the …
Katatonia The Great Cold Distance CD
Katatonia is a great band. They always have been. The actual music of the band is complex, inventive and catchy, all without being “sold out” or “poppy”. “The Great Cold Distance” is no exception. The instrumentation is complex, edgy, hard and very evolved from their previous works. There is …

Sia - The Greatest ft. Kendrick Lamar (2016 Song)

Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979)
The Wall is Pink Floyd’s, or better said, Roger Water’s overpompous, pretentious double album. A rockopera in the true sense of the word, since it has a storyline, imagery, and overarching musical theme. It became Pink Floyd’s most recognasible albums over history, along with The Dark Side of The …
The Grateful Dead - Go To Heaven
Overview - Go To Heaven, The Grateful Dead’s eleventh effort, is unfortunately an album that I’d have to say is average at absolute best, probably even worse than that to be honest. The opening track made me pretty hopeful for the rest of the album since it carries a …

Follow the Leader, 1998 Album by Korn

Awolnation (electronic rock band)
The first time that I even heard of the band “Awolnation” was when someone I knew introduced me to their song “Sail”. Afterwards I haven’t heard much of them on neither the media nor anywhere else, but I still listen to their music from time to time.
